Sam's First Bike Ride

While Ethan was at pre-school we snuck away for a ride along the Connecticut River 

and Sam took his first trip in the Burley!  Here's how it went:

BEFORE: Sam is not exactly thrilled about the bike trailer.  

AFTER: Sam is blissful after a head-bobbing nap along NH dirt roads, 

torrential downpour and steady supply of raisins and cheerios.

As for me, it felt INCREDIBLY good to be on my bike again.  I was reminded of the hundreds of hours I've spent in my saddle over the years, quietly reflecting on life, enjoying the breeze, struggling slowly uphill, flying downhill.  So much has changed in our lives since we used to spend days on end riding around rural Wisconsin, but we still love to bike.  What a treat to find a way to enjoy it with our boys.
